Artillery weapons based on electromagnetic launchers such as linear induction motor guns, railguns and coil-guns are being pursued as an alternative to conventional chemical-driven weapons due to their superior performance both in terms of range and destructive power. This paper presents a comparative analysis of linear induction motor guns versus coil-guns. The analysis is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. An attempt has been made to identify technology which is better suited for carrying out artillery warfare. The mechanical performances such as muzzle velocity of projectiles, acceleration and thrust on the projectiles are analysed to make an appropriate conclusion for on-field deployability of each of these weapons.
